Never reach for a need.

There may be numerous options at 32 to address DE.

Pick a bonafied stud at 11, not some 2nd rounder just because we have a need.

I'd rather an A-player at 11 than a B-player.

I agree. My priority would be pass rusher, of course, but ONLY if there is a player of a high enough caliber to be taken in that spot. There are certain positions we just don't need to take at 11, but as long as it's defense, in general, if you've got a potential star in your lap, you have to take him.

i would grab in a heartbeat at 11 though

The clocks on campus were showing a 4.33 time for Adams but there’s traditionally some home-cooking involved at every pro day, and the only real “official” times are the ones the teams themselves harvest and keep for their own uses.

4.56 to a 4.33. Possible but improbable. I also question LF's Jenny Craig commercial. Both possible but likely some elevated fish size going off of historical PD with Combine.

That's exactly what they were saying on NFL Radio today. Never believe pro day times.

To me its similar to the freakish scenario of Jonathan Allen dropping to 11 (yeah I know, NFW).

Even though a stud 3-tech isn't a need for us in 2017, do you pass up what many think might be Warren Sapp talent just because you have some decent guys already on the roster?

Just food for thought. Those decisions are way above my pay grade.

We are not getting any LSU players. For that to happen Sandra Bullocks would have to make Blind Side II and his dream would have to be to play for the Saints.

There's always a first time?

What about Solomon Thomas at 11? I think he will be a perfect fit as well.

Excellent prospect however most analyst/scouts don't see Solomon getting past the Niners at pick #2.
